Meet Indy! She is a 56-pound Boxer/Lab mix who thinks she’s a lap dog. She’s an exuberant and playful 10 years old. She’s friendly towards dogs, and she adores people, including children—but beware her enthusiasm for licking faces within reach! Upon meeting her, everyone comments on her incredibly soft coat, her tiger stripes, and especially her joy. She rarely stops wagging her tail. Even while getting her nails ground, it’s wag, wag, wag. Indy is housebroken, treat-motivated, and obedient. She will wait for your “okay” when you set her food dish on the floor. She’s responsive to sit, lie down, stay, and come, even off leash outdoors. She loves to play hide and seek. Her sense of smell isn’t strong, so you’ll need to hide where she can find you by looking. She’s okay staying home alone, but she would much rather be with you and will await your return just inside the door. It would truly be a waste of this dog’s joy to keep her home alone very often. She can be trusted to lie quietly at your feet at public talks, church services, and other events. And she’s thrilled to meet as many people as possible afterward. Wag, wag, wag. At home, Indy will chill while you work at the computer. But a sedentary household is not the place for her. Her foster mom walks her frequently to help keep her limber. Indy currently has a limp from a dog bite prior to her arrival at Forever Home, but that doesn’t stop her from walking 3 or 4 miles a day, even running short distances, exploring the beach, and camping. She would love to chase squirrels and bunnies, but she doesn’t pull at the leash. She loves other dogs and would enjoy having another canine companion in the home to play with. She’s eager to ride in cars and uses a dog ramp when exiting to minimize stress on her leg. Indy would thrive in a family with multiple people to love and engage her. But she will also adapt to a single household if provided with daily opportunities to expand her world. Her foster mom has been filling that need by hosting parties, arranging play dates, taking Indy to events with lots of people, and going on frequent field trips to pet stores. Wag, wag, wag. Indy is fully vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. Her adoption fee is $350.
